As the city of Waukegan and the Waukegan Potawatomi Casino tangle at the Illinois Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, work on the permanent American Place casino remains on hold.
After the Waukegan City Council approved Full House’s site plan and variance request for the permanent facility — the Temporary at American Place opened in February of 2023 — last August, work on the American Place Resort and Casino came to a halt.
With the Potawatomi challenging the city and the Illinois Gaming Board on the issuance of the Waukegan casino license, Alex Stolyar, Full House’s senior vice president and chief development officer, said Friday the company is forced to wait.
